Rewisp gives your Mac a memory. It reads your screen text on-device and remembers it for you. Catches promises like "I'll send it Friday" and reminds you until it's done. Ask "what changed since Tuesday?" and see exactly what's new. Search by meaning, not just words. Tracks numbers like weight or grades over time. Fills forms from your saved details — never passwords. One quiet 9 PM summary each day. Fully private: screenshots never saved, only text stays on your Mac.
As a fellow solo dev, the privacy-by-construction bit (text-only, screenshots discarded on the spot) is what makes this trustworthy vs a plain screen recorder. One thing I always hit shipping Mac apps though — the screen-recording permission prompt on first launch scares a chunk of users off. How are you handling that onboarding moment so people don't bounce before they get to the value?

@lennoxbeflying This is still an issue I am working on trying to fix. I would love to connect outside of this and discuss/collab more on this issue.
Congrats on the launch and #5th rank on Sunday.
Love the promise-catching idea. that's the stuff that always slips through the cracks. Does it handle commitments made in voice memos or dictated text, or only typed content?

@kbaqeri Thank you!
It currently handles everything that it saw on the screen, no audio/dictated content can be detected yet, but it is in the future improvements.
The "what changed since Tuesday" search actually pulled up stuff I'd completely forgotten about scrolling through, which was a nice surprise. The on-device-only approach makes me feel way better about letting it read everything on my screen.

@salcanamin72213 Thank you for the kind words :)
Caught me the moment I told someone I'd send a draft Friday. Searched by meaning and actually found that Slack thread from last week. Quiet little tool, feels right at home on the menu bar.
Love that it stays on-device and never saves screenshots. One thing I'd really appreciate is a way to exclude specific apps or windows from being read, like when I'm in a video call or working on something sensitive but unrelated to what I want tracked. That kind of granular control would make this feel truly mine.
on-device is the right call for something reading everything on your screen all day, but on-device isn't automatically safe - if my Mac gets stolen or someone gets local access, is that stored text file encrypted at rest, or just sitting in plaintext waiting to be read?
The ambient memory idea feels useful for people who context-switch all day. The tricky part for me would be separating “I saw this once” from “this is worth remembering.” Are you doing any local filtering or recency scoring so old or accidental screen content does not pollute answers?
